Cookie policy
A cookie is a small text file that is stored in your browser or device and contains information.
There are two types of cookies:
- One type, persistent cookies, saves a file that remains on your device. This file can be used, for example, to make it easier for you as a visitor to use the website according to your preferences and interests. They remain until they reach their expiry date.
- The second type is called a session cookie, which is temporarily stored by the browser while you are on the website. These session cookies disappear when you close your browser. No personal information such as e-mail or name is saved.
Both types of cookies are used on ehs.se.
